Heat/Hot Water Consulting
Our small apartment building has an over-taxed boiler and uneven heat throughout the building. Rather than do this piecemeal, we were thinking about finding a (reasonable) consultant who could do an assessment of our whole system and recommend what to do. Has anyone worked with one they can recommend?

Good Appliance Repair
I found a reference here to an appliance repair service, Father and Son Appliance (718-344-3362). After learning that it would be a week for GE to fix my fridge I called these guys and they were excellent. Before coming out they tried to help me fix the problem myself, to save money. When that didn’t work they came out immediately and fixed it, at a good rate. So, I’m keeping their card. You might try them.

Cleaning under a roofdeck
When checking out the deck on the apartment I bought last year I just noticed that leaves and dirt (from planters) are blocking the flow of water. I worry about a leak. Unfortunately the deck has very little clearance (12″ max) and is not sectional, otherwise I’d do it myself. Any suggestions for someone who could do this kind of thing?

Roof and deck inspection
Before putting a garden in on our roofdeck I’d like to get the deck looked over to make sure it’s structurally sound. Who does that kind of work?

Insurance consultant
My co-op wants to reconsider its insurance policies, and we are wondering if there are insurance consultants out there. I.e, someone who will give objective advice (for a fee) but not try to sell us insurance. Ideas?

scooter parking
There was a police sweep of scooters parked along 3rd Street this week, and the police said they were under orders fromt he Mayor’s office to get them all off the sidewalks. Anyone know anything about this, or how long it will last? Heads up to all scooter owners…

Drawer repair
My new place has some built in drawers that need work before they can be used. Has anyone had experience with a local carpenter who did this kind of work? Thanks. (This is a re-post, since the earlier one got no responses>)
